About Higgys Bears

I have done knitting and some sewing for as long as I can remember, mostly for my family. It was when I was knitting a teddy bear in fluffy wool that my daughter said "Mum, why do you sit for hours and hours knitting a teddy? It must be quicker to make it on a sewing machine." Well, the idea seemed like a good one so I thought I would give it a go. My husband bought me all the things I needed for my first bear and off I went - and I haven't stopped yet!!!

That was in 2008 and now, with the support and encouragement from all of my family, I'm still creating my bears.

My adventure was to gain momentum when I received the gift of a web site from my children for Mothers Day which was unbelievable, this has put my teddy bear creations on a worldwide stage where anyone can browse through the Higgys Bears showcase and enjoy my little works of art :)

My thanks, love and my heart go to Graham, Michelle, Anthony, Nicole, Chloe, Megan and more recently little Harry - and of course my Mum, who has never stopped encouraging me, and my dad who was my inspiration for the title "Higgys Bears" x x x
